## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 5.15.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The unfiltered transfer of user-configured plugin values creates a concrete data disclosure risk, though no specific credential transfer or malicious intent is established. The scanner’s account-action locations resolve to worker bookkeeping, and the manifest contains no install lifecycle hook.

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** After a generation run, the CLI sends configured plugin option values as part of usage telemetry. Those values are serialized without filtering, so sensitive configuration could be disclosed.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a generation command and telemetry is not disabled.

- **Impact:** Plugin configuration values are disclosed to the telemetry collector; the inspected source does not establish that any specific value is a credential or secret.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/run-BoO7H8RA.cjs, dist/Telemetry-COWGqYmh.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T22:48:38.487Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI passes plugin options to its telemetry builder, which serializes them into a payload and posts it to Kubb’s telemetry endpoint.

- **Rationale:** The unfiltered transfer of user-configured plugin values creates a concrete data disclosure risk, though no specific credential transfer or malicious intent is established. The scanner’s account-action locations resolve to worker bookkeeping, and the manifest contains no install lifecycle hook.

- **Files touched:** dist/run-BoO7H8RA.cjs, dist/Telemetry-COWGqYmh.cjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://otlp.kubb.dev/v1/traces

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** After generation, the CLI reports configured plugin names and option objects to telemetry., Telemetry serializes plugin option values without filtering their contents before sending the payload., The telemetry request goes to Kubb’s endpoint and is skipped when either telemetry opt-out setting is enabled., The package manifest has no install hook; its scripts are build, start, and typecheck., The flagged account-action locations describe worker files and worker startup, status, and error handling.

- **Evidence against:** This is package-aligned telemetry to Kubb’s own endpoint, and the send path honors the two telemetry opt-out settings., The inspected source does not establish that a plugin option contains a credential or other secret.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 3. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 5. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 83.0%
- **Path:** dist/snapshot-D7Ytw8S0.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@kubb/cli@5.15.0/dist/snapshot-D7Ytw8S0.cjs>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @kubb/cli; repositoryIdentity = kubb; dependency = @kubb/core
L12: let node_fs = require("node:fs");
L13: let _kubb_core = require("@kubb/core");
L14: let _kubb_studio = require("@kubb/studio");
```

### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 7. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
